You know you're from Upstate NY when . . .
You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
You have more miles on your snowblower than your car
You have 10 favorite recipes for venison
True Value Hardware is busier on any given Saturday than a toy store at Christmas
You live in a house with no front steps and the front door is 3
feet above the ground
You have been trick or treating in a blizzard
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow
You think everyone from the city has an accent
You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightgown with only 8 buttons.
You owe more money on your snowmobile than on your car
At least twice a year your kitchen doubles as a food processing plant
Most effective mosquito repellent is a shotgun
You get your snowblower stuck on the roof
You frequently clean the grease off your barbecue to keep the bears from prowling on your deck
You know which leaves make good toilet paper
You have kept food cold by putting on the back porch
You find -20F a little chilly
The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freeze
You attend a formal event in your best clothes and finest jewelry and snowmobile boots
Shoveling the driveway constitutes a great upper body workout.
You know the 4 seasons-almost winter, winter, still winter and construction
The town buys a zamboni before a bus
You have used the heat and a/c in your car on the same day

Peeps, I have been struggling soooo much this past week! I don't know what it is, what's caused it... There aren't any specific cravings... well okay, I am craving fat, I want a cheeseburger, I want wings and I want lettuce and fresh, ripe Jersey tomatoes. But this week has been my hardest week since starting over 4 months ago. I don't know if it's partly because the loss was slow this week? I am just so very underwhelmed with my food options. I am trying to hang tight until Saturday. I'll be out of town Sun/Mon and I'm gonna make those Atkins days... need to start with a fatty meal Saturday night though, just to clean the system out so I'm not running around NYC trying to find a bathroom! :blush: Oh but peeps, I just wanna cave, at like every minute of the day for the last week. It's been tough. I don't know how I haven't caved yet. I am eating tuna out of a pouch with some lemon juice and I swear, it has absolutely no taste at all and I am getting at the thought of another hard boiled egg. But I don't want to go off plan and gain before NYC. Sorry, just venting out loud.

Been there. .done, that GWN. .. maybe you do need to add a little salad or something.. that really kept me focused when I was having it rough. maybe it is time to mess up you inner metabolism or something?? IDK. . I just get soo frustrated tooo.. .I really wish I could help. .I know the feeling all too well. . Mine is stress. .I know it and I have to learn to eliminate it from my life but its next to impossible right now. My business is really frustrating (cash flow) so its a constant battle trying to get the bills paid. I thoroughly understand that it triggers my eating impulses. . Is there anything bothering you right now that you can think of? sometimes just determining what it is. . helps. . a little..

You mean besides going through a breakup, looking for a new apartment, working 6 days a week and saving for my Europe trip which is in 2 months? Oh then there's that weight "issue". lololol Yea, lolol... Never thought of myself as an emotional/stress eater though. I just eat because that's what I do, I like to eat. Now I miss eating but I know that I miss being thin more than eating junk so at least I'm still relatively sane Yesterday was the worst, I wanted to break so bad, couldn't stop thinking about food, so I punished myself by going on a second bike ride. But hey, at least the scale was down a tiny bit today.

For those of you who incorporate a salad daily, notice any change in weight? Slower? Bloating?

I am going to let myself a bit off plan this weekend, I will stay with Atkins except for one meal, I am going to my favorite Mexican restaurant but will definitely try to keep the damage minimal. Of course, I say this now, but if I end up losing like 5lbs between now and then, well the Mexican restaurant is off limits! Ha!

No. .i did not notice anything different other than my need to crush was satisfied. . I never realized how good celery was!!! I only stuck with lettuce, celery and occasional tomato slice, etc. . and I always measured and kept my veggies to 1 cup at lunch and another at dinner if I really had to have it. . Celery in my tuna counted. .and I'd put Tomato on my meat every once in awhile.. I did find that I didn't need it ever single day. . I also seasoned with vinegar. .O. .and cucumbers. . other than that. . I left the stachy veggies alone. . I was a lot more regular too. . if that's any help. .

Kobe beef was a dissapointment, but part of it is because we froze it. The date was coming up and hubby threw them in the freezer. I scolded him because I was planning on cooking them!!! So, I will give it another go and let you know. dont think I believe they massage the cow with sake!

[IM2fat]

al! so nice of you to join us!

If not, it is back to glasses.

Yay Mim--look at you looking all hot with your new haircut and contacts! I'm crossing everything that the contacts work out!! I thank whoever invented them!!! And I didn't know you could get bi-focals-cool!

Yeah it's def because of the scale--don't weigh, Gwn-seriously!!! Also it's what Gullo says about diet burnout--you're bored, bored, bored!!! Keep away from the tuna!!! If you need something eat a salad, maybe--it's the crunch that's good!!!
